Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space

"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.

Undermaintained sidewalk area, Union Station area, median, Massachusetts Avenue at 1st Street NE

Undermaintained sidewalk area, Union Station area, median, Massachusetts Avenue at 1st Street NE

This has been a problem for at least 10 years. I remember talking to Rachel MacCleery, then the Ward 5 transportation planner, around 2003. She said it would be taken care of in the Union Station intermodal planning process...

What does this say about how much we value our public realm and providing a high quality experience to people who come to visit Washington?
